Richard Bridge, sounds to me like Intel has gone a bit overboard, but I suppose it was on the advice of their lawyers, so as to avoid lawsuits. I would love to have been there when your daughter made her comments; that would've been a sight!

I always say the only prejudice I was really raised with was for Mormons and sheepherders (some of them tried to get my great-granddad hung.) Usually they were one in the same and, this prejudice was in spite of one of my very favourite aunts being staunch LDS and, later, my ex-husband having been one. He and his family, btw, never waivered on the coffee, soda, etc.!

Also, having worked in Utah and having a dad who lives there, I can attest to the fact that coffee and other liquid "stimulants" are always available in the restaurants of which many are LDS-member owned. So, Intel is just being silly, IMO.

Thanks for letting us know what happened. Does this mean my Pentium prcoessor is Ultra-PC?**BG**
